JOHN REDWOOD： The nationalized industries fell to pieces。 They lost huge sums of money； they put the prices up massively and still weren't able to make a profit。 They were bleeding the nation dry； the taxpayer dry； and they weren't doing a good job for their customers。
JOHN REDWOOD：国有工业瓦解了。他们损失了数额巨大的钱财；他们太高了价格却仍然不能盈利。他们正在吸干国家和纳税人的血却没有为客户作任何有益的事情。
NARRATOR： The coal mines and the miners' union became Thatcher's biggest challenge。
旁白：煤矿和矿工工会是对撒切尔最大的挑战。
JOSEPH STANISLAW： The coal miners represented the last bastion of the socialist mindset in the UK。 One of the singularly most important economic/political events for the world economic system was Margaret Thatcher's government confrontation with the miners。
JOSEPH STANISLAW：煤矿工人象征着社会主义思想在英国的最后堡垒。世界经济制度中最异乎寻常地重要的经济/政治事件之一是玛格丽特？撒切尔的政府与煤矿工人之间面对面的对抗。
MARGARET THATCHER： We were quite clear： Uneconomic pits must close。 You could not go on pouring money into uneconomic pits。 It was taxpayers' money。
撒切尔夫人：我们非常清楚：赚不到钱的矿井必须关闭；你不能继续把钱投到不赚钱的矿井中去；那是纳税人的钱。
CECIL PARKINSON： If you look at our coal industry； the coal is very deep in the earth； it is hugely expensive to get out。
CECIL PARKINSON：如果你看看我们的煤矿工业，你会发现煤埋藏在地下很深的地方；把它们挖出来的代价非常高昂。
NARRATOR： Seventyfive percent of Britain's coal mines were losing money。 It took government subsidies of 3 billion a year to keep them going。 But these statistics were seen as irrelevant by men like Ken Capstick； one of the radical Socialists who led the miners' union。
旁白：75％的英国煤矿赔钱。为了维持它们运转政府每年要补贴30亿美元。但是这些统计数字在象Ken Capstick那样的人看来与主题无关，他是一个激进的社会主义者，领导着矿工工会。
KEN CAPSTICK； National Union of Miners： What they would say was that in America； for instance； coal produced at the pit head was cheaper than coal produced at the pit head here。
KEN CAPSTICK，全国矿工工会：他们要说的是美国产的煤，例如，比英国产的煤便宜。
NARRATOR： The union leaders argued that the government subsidies were money well spent if they kept 180；000 miners at work and able to feed their families。
旁白：工会领导人争论说如果能使180，000名矿工有工作而且能养活家人的话，政府补助就花得值得。
KEN CAPSTICK： Miners used to say and I can remember them saying it "；While ever I've got these I'll always have a job。"；
KEN CAPSTICK：矿工们过去常常说－我记得他们这样说－“虽然我已经拥有这些，但我总是要工作。”
NARRATOR： It was grudge match。 Both sides knew the miners had brought down Ted Heath's Conservative government 10 years earlier。 The fiery Marxist who led the National Union of Miners said no mine should be closed until the coal ran out。
旁白：这是一次有历史性影响的对抗。双方都知道矿工们在十年前推翻了Ted Heath的保守党政府。领导全国矿工联合会的激进马克思主义者说除非煤炭采完否则煤矿不能被关闭。
ARTHUR SCARGILL： Reaffirm the unanimous decision of March the eighth to declare official in accordance with Rule 41 the strike action。
ARTHUR SCARGILL：重申了三月达成的一致意见，官方第八次宣布罢工应合乎41法规。
The issue before our members is very clear。 They either accept the policies of the Coal Board and the government； which will result in the loss of 70；000 jobs； or alternatively； they stand on their feet like men。 They fight defend the jobs； defend their pits； and defend their dignity。
摆在议员面前的问题非常清楚。他们或者接受煤炭委员会和政府的政策－这会导致减少70，000个工作岗位，或者支持另一边。工人为保卫工作、包围煤矿和包围尊严而战。
NARRATOR： The strike was an epic clash of values which symbolized the wider battle of ideas： socialist against capitalist； free market against state ownership。 And it was a question of power： Who ruled Britain？
旁白：罢工是价值观的大冲撞，其标志是更大范围内的思想战争：社会主义者对资本家，自由市场对政府。
Illegal mass picketing outside working mines led to violent clashes with the police。
开工矿井外非法的群众岗哨引起了与警察的暴力冲突。
KEN CAPSTICK： It was the next thing to； you know； to a war。 We were faced with an enemy； and that enemy was out to destroy our livelihoods； out to destroy our pits； out to destroy our munities and what our munities stood for。 Miners and their families had a set of values that I don't think Margaret Thatcher could understand； values of socialism and Christianity。 The two things went hand in hand in many ways。
KEN CAPSTICK：你知道，下一件事就是战争。我们面对的敌人要破坏我们的生计，关闭我们的煤矿，破坏我们的团体和团体所代表的东西。矿工和他们的家人有自己的价值观－我认为玛这套价值体系是玛格丽特？撒切尔所不能理解的－社会主义和基督教的价值观，它们在许多方面密切相关。
NARRATOR： For more than a year the miners held out； until internal rifts and the desire of many to return to work brought the walkout to an end。
旁白：矿工们坚持了一年多，最终内部分裂和许多人希望回去工作的愿望使这场罢工得以结束。
MARGARET THATCHER （interviewed in 1993）： And then suddenly it collapsed； the strike； and the most powerful union with the most militant leader had failed。
撒切尔夫人（1993年采访）：然后突然就崩溃了，罢工和由最好斗的领导人领导的最有权力的工会是白了。
NARRATOR： Britain has changed。 Today； less than 3；000 work in the mines。
旁白：英国发生了变化。今天，还有不到3，000人在煤矿中工作。
KEN CAPSTICK： I feel devastated by what I see。 Grimethorpe had considerable reserves of coal when it was closed； plenty of work for those miners to continue to do to keep their families。 You can see the wasteland； you can see the social deprivation that it caused。 The children that are ing along no prospects； no future； people despairing because they can't find employment and the dignity that employment brings。 It's the market forces gone mad。
KEN CAPSTICK：你可以看到未开垦的荒地；我看到的令我震惊。煤矿被关闭时Grimethorpe还有相当大的储量，还有很多工作可以给那些矿工来做从而让他们可以养活家人。你可以看到它造成的社会掠夺。孩子们没有前途，没有未来；人们因失业和失业带来的尊严的丧失而绝望。这就是发疯的市场力量。
MARGARET THATCHER： The political consequences of the failure of the strike were incalculable。
撒切尔夫人：罢工失败带来的政治后果无法估量。
GORDON BROWN； Labor Finance Minister： The coalmining strike of the early 1980s was a tragedy for so many of the mining families that were involved in it。
GORDON BROWN，工党财政大臣：八十年代初期的煤矿工人罢工队卷入到其中的无数矿工家庭来说是一场悲剧。
NARRATOR： Perhaps the greatest political impact was on the Labor Party that had all along opposed Thatcher's freemarket policies。
旁白：可能最大的政治影响是影响了一直反对撒切尔自由市场政策的工党。
GORDON BROWN： I came into politics as someone who lived in an area which was an old mining munity。 The problem for the left in the past was that they equated the public interest with public ownership and public regulation； and therefore they assumed that markets were not therefore in the public interest。 What we have had to explain both to ourselves and to the country and now I believe it's possible to explain this to the rest of the world as well is that markets are in the public interest。
GORDON BROWN：我和一位居住在老矿区的人一起步入政界，�
